Talking about a dream debut… Alice Merton’s first single No Roots has already been a huge hit east and south of her home country Germany, and is now crossing the west border as well, causing the song to go up to a new peak position of #8 in the European Border Breakers Chart. It looks like No Roots is going to conquer the whole of Europe, slowly but surely…

In the territories that were first to discover her, the follow up single is out already. Hit The Ground Running is also part of Merton’s debut EP No Roots. The song has big shoes to fill, but will certainly profit from the profile she built with her first hit. It’s already ‘bubbling under’ at #4 in the Tips for the EBBChart.
